Who are Gabriel Iglesias parents?
Esther P. Mendez (Mother) and Jesus Iglesias (Father)
She was a legendary woman, who influenced Gabriel Iglesias and played an important role in his fate. Esther separated from Gabriel Iglesias father and raised their six kids (Fluffy has 4 sisters and one brother) alone. She did any job she could find in order to feed her children.
Gabriel started to act on the stage at the age of 10. Then he performed in front of his schoolmates, and did it so well that anybody laughed. The boy enjoyed all that attention he got after the concert. Around that time he decided to become a comedian.
His mother Esther liked his jokes, but she did everything she could to convince Gabriel not to become a full-time comedian. She persuaded him to find a normal job, which could feed him. At first Fluffy followed her advice and found work in the cell phone company. But then he went against Esther’s will.
Gabriel’s mother was his most devoted fan and a frequent guest at his shows. Very often she met other artists at the concerts too and it made her happy. Till now in Gabriel Iglesias’s house there’s a picture of his mom and her favorite star – ranchera Vicente Fernandez.
Esther Pinuelas Mendez passed away in May, 2012 in her West Covina house (California). Gabriel opened up, that till now he misses her.
Jesus Iglesias (father)
Gabriel Iglesias has never been close with his father. His parents separated soon after his birth, and he doesn’t stay connected with his dad as for now.
